Does California consider us married by the date our application was accepted (February, 2018) or the date we got married on (December 10, 2017).

If you were married before midnight on December 31, 2017, you are considered to have been married for the entire year. You may file as "Married Filing Joint."

Congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy marriage!
